Rotation (which can be applied to any grob) was added in 2.9.5 (though I 
added it via a patch when I had 2.9.4 installed).  Be forewarned that in 
the 2.9 tree, the basic building blocks of Lilypond are being 
refactored, which means there can be a lot of instability.  Personally, 
I've found anything greater than 2.9.5 to have show-stopper issues for 
the time being.
